Authorizes EDA to provide grants from "Global Warming Solutions Fund" to finance replacement of certain agricultural equipment.
This bill authorizes New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to provide grants from the "Global Warming Solutions Fund" to help farmers replace inefficient or polluting agricultural equipment with more efficient, less polluting alternatives. Farmers applying for these grants must demonstrate that their old equipment has been permanently decommissioned. The grants are funded through a specific allocation (60%) of the Global Warming Solutions Fund, which was established under prior law to support greenhouse gas reduction initiatives. The primary goal is to reduce emissions from agricultural operations by modernizing equipment.
